Creating Money From Nothing - must watch video
World-renowned economist Richard Werner on where money comes from: banks simply create it out of thin air, and keep the profits for themselves. Werner explains that this aspect of money creation has effectively been ignored by economists and predominant economic theories.
This 3 hour Tucker Carlson interview with Richard Werner is informative and fascinating. The first hour and 15 minutes are certainly worth watching:
From the article Must Watch - Tucker Carlson Interviews Richard Werner, The Last Refuge, 29 July 2025:
... Werner discusses something absolutely vital to understand about the nature of economics and the banking system that underpins it. You have often heard me say "there are trillions at stake" when describing the elements aligned against President Trump. Well, Werner gives context to what lies behind those trillions.
Nine years ago, as President Elect Trump won his first election, I wrote about the future of economics and the potential if a Main Street monetary and banking system was created. {GO DEEP} Richard Werner discusses the specific issue of how credit creation by regular banks actually creates money. He’s the first person I have seen speak who really gets it.
There are distinct differences between banks creating money for asset purchases (inflation), consumer purchases (inflation) and GDP growth (Main Street expansion). He simply nails it, and that is why he was put on the CIA radar.
When Werner speaks of the need for two distinct banking systems as a solution to the "inflationary" impact of money created for asset purchases vs GDP growth, he is specifically highlighting the difference between Wall Street money and Main Street money. This, in the largest measure, is exactly why President Trump and Secretary Mnuchin created the dual banking system. This is what led to the global pandemic as a tool to stop President Trump.
I cannot recommend this interview enough. However, don’t sell yourself short. Find a quiet place, quiet time, and take notes as you listen to Richard Werner outline the true and unspoken nature of how money is created.
When you understand what Werner is saying, everything the FED and Central Banks do starts to make sense...
Behind what Werner is explaining you will find the motives to oppose President Trump. Werner doesn’t draw the connection to Trump’s policies, but when you hear him outline the history and the problem you will get it.
